Design Tip_Go Local



Work with local craftspeople to create individual sustainable furniture that can give a project a tangible connection to nature and the local area. For The Real Food Store in Exeter we commissioned Dan Entwistle to create these oak clad counters.



This energetic space for the community funded project includes passing references to the countryside with fruit bushel chandeliers, crate storage, Devon red walls and locally sourced oak panelling.
